How do you choose a testing method?

Recently, news about dietary supplements being pulled from the shelves of New York chain stores, has left supplement users questioning product safety and quality.  And while there are many quality manufacturers and ingredient suppliers, it’s imperative that solid testing procedures are in place for every product.

Are you testing your nutritional ingredients and dietary supplement products?

Testing is required under the Code of Federal Regulations.  CFR, 111.75(c)(1) states, “you must select one or more established specifications for identity, purity, strength, composition” then CFR 111.75 (2) states, “you must conduct appropriate tests or examinations to determine compliance with the specifications selected.”

SORA Labs is here to help!  We want to be your testing lab!

We are an ISO 9001:2008 certified and ISO 17025:2005 accredited testing lab. The International Organization of Standardization holds companies, like ours, to the highest level of quality. Each year these independent auditors review our processes and procedures to ensure that our customers are receiving accurate, reliable, quality CoA results. We are continually growing; investing in the latest equipment; and adding capabilities to better serve our customers. We want to be your partner in quality. Let us be your best asset!

How do you choose a testing method?

There are many reliable and validated testing methods to choose from. Organizations like the USP, FCC, AOAC, as well as many peer-reviewed journals have published validated methods for testing ingredients and nutritional products.

Selecting a validated or peer-review method is extremely important. When purchasing an ingredient, it is critical to ask the supplier what method they used to identify, assay, or qualify their ingredient. Additionally, this will also provide information about the ingredient and how the supply has been verified.

Testing will prove the quality and purity of the ingredient and finished products. Working together, we can keep quality products on the store shelves! 

Papain and Bromelain Enzyme Activity Testing

Papain and bromelain enzyme activity testing can be done here at SORA Labs.  This is one of the many enzyme assays that we preform.  We want to partner with your company on all your testing needs.

For papain and bromelain, we use the FCC PU method to determine the enzyme activity.  In some cases, bromelain is quoted in GDU activity.  GDU is not a compendial assay and has many variations of this method.  We perform the FCC PU assay, which is compendial, and then convert back to GDU.  I can send you our white paper explanation for the conversion if you let me know that you would want a copy.

FCC PU Activity Assay Description:

Hydrolysis of casein @ pH 6.0 (UV-Vis spectroscopy)

We offer many other enzyme assays from the USP or FCC Compendium. We are the only ISO lab with enzyme assays on our scope of accreditation in the US.  Please go to our website to view the complete list or email me for more testing capabilities.
